Go to the race track, ask who built the engines of the winners. Word of mouth is a good way to hopefully find a good machine shop. Don't base your decision solely on price, that has cost SOOO many people grief and suffering (myself included).

If your engine is not completely ruined, you might be able to rebuild it yourself at a fraction of the cost, say $500 instead of $2500.
